Gardiner Yarn Works Stampede PDF

Stampede, a unique rectangular shawl pattern from Gardiner Yarn Works, makes great use of the entrelac knitting technique. Using a modular lace pattern and worked in an opulent yarn this pattern makes a show-stopping accessory. Lace pattern instructions are both written and charted.

This pattern is available as a PDF download.

Size: may knit more or fewer repeats as desiredFinished Measurements: 15” wide x 82” longYarn Requirements: Approximately 1100 yards of lace or fingering weight yarnNeedle(s): US size 6 (4mm) needlesGauge: 6 stitches/8 rows per inch in stockinette stitch (gauge is not critical to this project)

I followed the pattern as written with a dark grey lace-weight thread with silver metalic thread twisted into the yarn. It was yarn I already had on hand. Using a dark color made the project more difficult to see the pattern as I worked, so I needed to back up several times (my fault - not the pattern). Read through the entire pattern before beginning the project, then follow the charts rather than the written directions. Multi-color varagated yarns would probably make the pattern too busy, but variations on a single color should be fine. Since gauge is not really important you may use the pattern to make a variety of wider projects. In a thicker yarn on larger needles with more pattern repeats, this would make a nice afghan.
